The MacCullagh ellipsoid is a mathematical construct used in the field of geodesy, which is the study of Earth's shape and size. Specifically, the MacCullagh ellipsoid refers to a type of reference ellipsoid that is defined using parameters that best fit the geoid (the true physical shape of the Earth as affected by gravity and rotation) for specific regions or globally.
